Items related to Patterns of War: Systemic Aspects of Deadly Conflicts
Synopsis
In this book, Fritz B. Simon analyses the developmental conditions for wars – from military conflict to marital breakdown ("The War of the Roses") – from the perspective of systems theory. His conclusion is that, in general, wars are not fought for the sake of economic or impulse-driven interests, but – so it seems – for such antiquated values as honour, pride and status. September 11, 2001 and subsequent events have proved to be the prime example for this book, published in German shortly beforehand. With fascination and horror, we discover that the subsequent war follows the description in the book to a "T". The analysis of the developments from the attack on the World Trade Center to the war against Iraq, which has been added to this edition, confirms the logic of deadly conflict demonstrated in this book.
